Western New York

Encyclopedia : W : WE : WES : Western New York

Western, New York is the name of a town in Oneida County, New York.

Western New York refers to the westernmost counties of New York State, roughly the area included in the Holland Purchase. It includes the cities of Rochester and Buffalo, as well as the U.S. side of the Niagara Falls. Residents of the area use the term "Western New York" to distinguish themselves from residents of Upstate New York; the distinction is made most often by Upstate New Yorkers.

Characteristics that roughly differentiate Western New York from Upstate New York include the use of the word Soda-pop instead of soda to refer to soft drinks, and the presence of Wegmans grocery stores.
